The Swltchmen On Strike.

The switchmen at the Sunset depot
went on strike this morning. and have
been standing around the depot all the
morning, refusing to work. This is in
conformity with the action OF the Hous-
ton committee, and the strike lie extend
ing in all directions. Business is prsc-
tICally at stand-still at the Sunset
depot, and as both the officials and men
seem 10 be determined, there is no tell
ing when nor how the difficulty will
end.
1t was rumored in the city that the |.
& G. n. switchmen had also struck, but
&C o'clock p. IN. the men were all at
work. There Is, however, great prob
ability that the men in those yards will
also go out on a strike, as the men on all
roads are consolidating. The res-
son for the strike is that the switch
men demand the same rates of pay as
are current 10 Chicago and Kansas,
which the officials refuse to grant.

We are asked to "define in plain

JUST AS YOU LIKE.
The Liquor Dealers Association Re-
move Restriction from their
Members.

Members,
The Liquor Dealers association met
on Saturday night to discuss the
question OF opening ana closing the sa-
looms OF the city. Mr.. A. |. Look wood
call the meeting To order, and after
indignantly refuIing the allegation that
he or any other member OF the essOcia-
tion were anarchists, he said they had
met as American citizens doing business
under license Of the United States by
which they were allowed TO engage 10
business 1856 days In each year. They
had submitted TO the closing OF their
places of business upon election
days, and now they were asked to
close for 81 more days. They believed
that their constitutional rights were
infringed by such action, and they met
to devise measures for their protection.
He then alluded to the failure OF all at
tempts at Sunday Legislation, and repu
dated the idea that the grand juries
that preceded the present jury were less
honorable than those now in session.
He concluded by advising that the men,
bers exercise their own discretion ss TO
closing or opening their saloons on Sun
days.
After some discussion, 1t was decided
that no further restriction should be
placed on members, and should any be
arrested for opening their saloons on
sunday, the attorney for the association
should defend them.
just then the lire alarm WAS sounded
and the meeting WAS hurrledly adjourn
ed 10 wait the cali of the president.
AS n result Of this action, many sa-
looms were opened on Sunday. and do
ing good business and other businesses
were opened. Many, however, remain
ed closed IN order that they might see
which way the prosecution cat" would
jump.

A Big Brazilian Lizard.

On upper Broadway, in a big bird cage,
is an iguana lizard, that was found on q
Brazilian steamer, and given to a cigar
cite manufacturer by the captain. 1t is a
curious creature, with its green and sealy
hide and its spiked back and hooded head.
What makes it odder to look at is that its
tail is broken off. The tail of the iguana.
in state of nature, is long, slender and
brittle. 1t snaps off like candy sticks at
a rude touch. The iguana is an edible
reptile, and among the Indians and
negroes of tropical countries IL is a deadly
insult to offer guest baked iguana
with its tail broken off. 1t lives on
grasses, herbs and insects, and it's flesh is
white and solid, with the flavor of a

feeds on air and changes color. l have
seen them among the grasses of the open

out the color, and is useful in aiding their
concealment from the hunter. ALFRED

Last Moments OF NIaximilian.

The sun was already high in cloudiess
heaven, shining in the deep azure of those
grand attitudes, flooding the whole valley
with an intense light. The Cerro, like an
immense rock flung in the yalleN rose
bare and yellow, with here and there ON
its sides green clusters of cactus and fig
trees. A square of 1000 men surrounded
1T in straight lines. They were in full
uniform, with bayonets cleaning in the
sunlight. Beyond them was dense and
motley crowd. On the west, through the
prairie, the road to Celayo wound like
long, white, dusty ribbon. The lines of
snow white terraces in Queretaro were
plainly visible, dotted here and there with
green trees and surmounted with cupoias
and numerous crosses. In the distance
rose the blue peaks of the Cordilleras.
The officer commanding the platoon who
were to fire approached the emperor and
besought his pardon for the duty which
he was about to perform. The emperor
distributed among the soldiers several
gold coins bearing his ef1igy, and requested
them in firing to spare his face Then he
embraced Gems. Mcjia and Miramon, and
as the latter was placed on his right hand
Maximilian said in a loud voice:
'The brave deserve respect from mon
archs even in death. General, pass to the
place of honor.
Miramon passed to the center. With
perfectly firm, distinct voice the emperor
addressed the crowd:
"Mexicans, the men of my race and
country are born to make their people
happy or to die martyrs. May my blood
be the last shed for the redemption of this
unhappy country. Vive lie Mexiquer
Then Gen. Miramon, with the same
clear, ringing voice that had sounded ON
the battle field, cried
"Mexicans, before the council of war
my defenders sought only to save my life.
AT this moment when / am about to APP
pear before my God, 1 protest against the
name of traitor which has been thrown
in my face to justify my condemnation.
Let the Mexican people clear the name Of
my children from such a stain OF infamy
and may my country be happy. Vive le

Gen. Meja, raising his eyes to heaven,
said: "Most Holy Mother, pray that Thy
Son may pardon me, as l pardon those
who have condemned me to death"

smoke slowly cleared away they could see

should be resisted by the bayonet. Its
